Hello! I having been so nervous and worried about this I was looking for an active forum for some help and advice!

I am 35 years old and have 2 children. 17 years old and 14 years old. You'd think I wouldn't look for help after having two kids but it has been so long I just cannot remember.

I had an IUD for 11 years (non-hormonal), it was supposed to come out after 10 years but I completely forgot. So I made appointment to have it taken out and signed papers to have my tubes tied. This appointment was on 10/8. I spotted for a day or so after and started my period on 10/10. On 10/18 I had intercourse and condom broke. I am on no birth control at all and losing my mind over this!

On 10/26 I had intercourse again and condom was intact no problems however I did spot after sex. On 10/27 I felt small little pinching like cramps and there was pink tinge on toilet paper. My breasts are very sore but usually are right before my period.

Please tell me it's highly unlikely based on what I've wrote that I am NOT pregnant! If you have any other questions please feel to ask.. I am trying to not worry (which could cause delay in period resulting in further worrying) but at the same time realize when the condom broke I was entering ovulation..

I think that the chances are low but still possible. How long is your normal cycle? Having sex on cycle day 9 and not ovulating for several days (say cycle day 14 for an average 28 day cycle) isn't likely to result in pregnancy. Sperm only stay alive for a few days.

Honestly I never really pay any attention to my cycle, since I had the IUD for the last 11 years.. so I have no idea how many days. I do know in Sept my af arrived on 9/16. Typically lasts 3-4 days. So from Sept to Oct it was 24 days.

Hmmm...if 24 days is the normal length then you are like me. I ovulate as early as cycle day 10, usually cycle day 12. That does make it more likely that pregnancy could occur but even if you timed it perfectly your chances are supposed to only be one out of four. Do you recall any ovulation signs this last month (thin, stretchy cervical mucus, very interested in sex, ovulation pain, etc) and about when they happened?

The little cramp feeling I have may only last for a few seconds or minute then I don't feel it again for awhile, I don't think it's normal cramps though. I know I probably sound crazy and uneducated but my head is in the toilet with all this (not literally yet, thank goodness!)

When do good cravings and adversions begin? Anything else I can look for symptom wise that could either rule out or confirm? I know and hpt is my best option but just a shread of ruling out may help lol

I get nauseated super early now and that is sometimes my first sign. But with my short cycles, I test positive before 28 days since that would be around 15 days after ovulation for me. I remember with my third child getting nauseated in the car and thinking that I was pregnant before cycle day 25 (day 22?). So, you may or may not have definitive signs. It is so crazy that many of the symptoms are the same for pregnancy and for your period.

Today without even thinking about it I woke up after sleeping for 3 hours and made me fried asparagus! I was sitting there eating it thinking I have only ate asparagus 2x in my life why did I want it so bad! Which is why I asked about the cravings...

Again thank you for takin time replying, it's helping just to calm my nerves believe it or not

Also heighten sense of smell? When does that take place? I have noticed a very big difference in smell! Food adversions just the other night I came home and fried 2 eggs, ate all but last couple bites and suddenly felt repulsed and sick at the thought of taking another bite of the egg! Can't even stand the thought of eggs right now! But I wonder if this is all in my head because I know it goes along with pregnancy!

I am a healthy 35 year paramedic/firefighter! I am just beyond nervous about the possibly its of a pregnancy this late... So I do apologize for being "overwhelming annoying" with my questions.. Thanks again!

stop thinking about it. its all in your head. you will make yourself sick worrying (which will make you think its morning sickness) and worry also messes with your cycle which will in turn make you further think about it.try to occupy your mind with other things so that your not dwelling on it. and take an hpt when your due for af.

You are absolutely right! I have tried to just relax and not think about it which was nice for a change! Just started early some light cramping and spotting. Soooo of course concerns through the roof yet very relieved!

It has only been 19 days since the first day of my last af maybe all this worrying has done the opposite and made me start early?
